You obviously haven't been reading it closely enough:

<Don't flame CBM for CORRECTING MISTAKES and improving their product!

No, the flame isn't for changing things, whatever the reason. The
flame is for failing to provide a way for the old things to work with
the new.

<I am sure that the Zorro form factor was changed for a GOOD reason!

That reason has already been stated - they couldn't build a reasonable
sized box if they used the old form factor. In other words, they
wanted cards that would fit inside of an IBM-PC. What rock have *you*
been hiding under?

<But too much already!!!!  Kwitchyer gripin, woodya?

Oh, eventually. You, on the other hand, should gripe about the real
world, instead of figments of your imagination.
